We are always shocked to find a good friend has passed away. I grew up with Jane and lived next door to her parents. We went through school together from about 3rd grade until we graduated from Burlingame High. They had a pool so I was at her home almost ever day during the summer months.
As we got older we shared our thoughts as we tried to discover who we were and what was important in life. We became close but we did hang out with each other during our hight school days. We each had are own circle of firends and we had different interests. With all that said we were close and shared things with her that I did not discuss with anyone else including my best friend Joe Parson..
Jane was adopted and she excepted that. She told me her brother, who was a 2 yeears younger, was adopted but he had not been told while growing up, There were only a few kids in our neighborhood so I palyed a lot with Peter but I never told him that he had been adopted. He did not find out until towards the end of highschool and it was a shock. He had a hard time dealing wiith the news and lost his identity. Jane and I would talk about her brother who by choice attended San Mateo High.
When I left for college I never looked back. Life was not good at home and I wanted a new beginning. The olny person I ever contacted from my highschool years was Jane with a phone call maybe every five or seven years. We grew up and each went our own sperate way.
Her brother died some time ago and I don't know what happend with Jane's marriage. I always felt sorry for her. I had the feeling she was teribliy alone but I maybe mistaken. She had a few close frineds that she keep in close contact with. She would mention their names but I really did not known them other than we were classmates.
Jane loved music. She was smart and very mature for a age. She battled epilepsy. Thankfully episondes were infrequent, but I can remember vivudly one occassion while in her parents home while her parents were trying to help her. We all felt inadequate and I was frightened.
I did not have any brothers or sisters so Jane became my sister while I was groeing up. She was the only one I shared my deepest feeling with and she was an important part of my life. I'm sorry she is gone but I know that she is in a better place. I loved Jane. I wish I had been more diligent in keeping in touch.
